He said all that, then he threw the word "afford" into it which brought it back to a commercial reality.

Perhaps getting some pre-orders, and maybe taking some deposits from people who dont care about timelines, would/could make the pinball machine better in the long run cause it gives them more working capital. I know he said he wasnt doing this for money, but its not a charity either.
Will be interesting to see what happens, but I am also starting to get confused as to who is Heck, Jpop and the other few names which keep appearing on all these homebrew pinnys. I cant keep up with who is who, and who is working for who and on what title. They should pool their collective monies n talents and start a super company to give JJP and Stern a run for their monies.lol
